what happened
Dow Jones Newswires has issued a correction to its October 20 headline on Alaska Air Group. The alert sent at 5:09 p.m. ET wrongly stated that the airline's third-quarter traffic was up 58045%. According to the publisher, traffic was in fact flat.
The correction does not mention other figures from the same quarterly update.
why it matters
The error concerned a single operating metric rather than the company's financial results, so the market impact is likely limited. Still, automated headlines of this kind can circulate quickly across terminals, so traders reading the feed should check figures against the original release.
